Summary Of Third Culture Kids

Bilal Ahmed explains in his article of “Third Culture Kids” how he feels as a “third culture kid” relating his life experience. He explains his way of thinking in the identity recognition of the TCK’s, and on the benefits, He also explains that TCK are adaptable and develop non-conformist ideas because they have seen many cultures since they were young. there are much more complicated and different points of view around the subject.
Third culture kids can be defined as people who at an early age grew up in an environment different than their parents, building relationship with all of the cultures without fully owning one. There are many people in this situation around the world, and they usually go along with everyone in the 2 cultures that they have acquired and perfectly relate with people in their same status.
Bilal uses a weak argument with very little or non-existing support to explain that the TCK’s don’t have financial worries. In the United States, most of the people I have seen and recognized as TCK’s are normally not poor, but it is not like they don’t have financial worries, to not have financial worries, means to be rich or almost rich. Are TCK’s more than rich kids? This idea explains how he think that most of the TCK’s are rich, that is in fact not true nowadays. there are many people who move here as kids or teens who are not as Ahmed's explains. Many people have lower income, but they still learn to fit in and become successful. It is true that TCK’s are most likely to develop a nonconformist behavior, and they can relate easily with most of the people of the 3 different cultures, I agree with this
